Samurott is the Formidable Pokémon, a quadrupedal water type resembling a river otter or sea lion, the final evolution of the Unova starter line beginning with Oshawott. It evolves from Dewott at level 36, and its forelimb armor holds shell swords called seamitars that it wields like an armored samurai.
In Hisui, the line produces a regional form, Hisuian Samurott, whose whiskers are wavy rather than straight and whose shell armor differs in texture and color from its Unovan counterpart, though its coat color and body shape stay similar. Samurott's evolutionary line is the only Water-type first partner line not in the Water 1 Egg Group.
A Samurott belonging to Leeku appeared in the Victini films White: Victini and Zekrom and Black: Victini and Reshiram, losing to Ash's Tepig after Tepig received a power boost from Victini. A female Samurott under Cameron's ownership made its animated series appearance in The Road to Humilau!, winning a Gym battle against Marlon's Mantine and later defeating Bianca's Escavalier at the Vertress Conference before losing to Emboar; it also beat Ash's Pignite before losing to his Pikachu.
Samurott's first card was a 2011 Black and White Rare illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda, with a second Rare printing by 5ban Graphics in the same release. Astral Radiance gave Hisuian Samurott Holo Rare, V and VSTAR printings, including an Ultra Rare V and two Secret Rare VSTAR versions illustrated by 5ban Graphics.
Crown Zenith's Galarian Gallery subset added an Ultra Rare Hisuian Samurott V and VSTAR pair illustrated by kodama and Shibuzoh., and the Scarlet & Violet era's White Flare set later brought a standard Rare Samurott by rika alongside an illustration rare by DOM.

The most valuable Samurott card is the illustration rare from White Flare, released in 2025. Of the 19 Samurott cards, 18 carry a market value, and they span 2011 to 2025. The ten leading Samurott cards hold 95 percent of the total value, so Samurott card value rests almost entirely on a short list of prints rather than on the full run of cards.
The White Flare illustration rare from 2025 leads the most valuable Samurott cards by 2.9 times over the next card. That runner-up is Hisuian Samurott V, an Ultra Rare from the Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery in 2023, followed by Hisuian Samurott VSTAR from the same gallery. Fourth and fifth are two Hisuian Samurott VSTAR cards printed as Secret Rares in Astral Radiance, 2022. An illustration rare is a card whose artwork extends across much of the frame, while V and VSTAR cards are the larger Ultra Rare formats of the Sword & Shield era.
Samurott cards from the Sword & Shield era dominate the twenty-five leading cards with 11, followed by Black & White with 4, Scarlet & Violet with 2 and XY with 1. The newest era's leader is the White Flare illustration rare, which sits 1st overall. All 10 cards in the top ten are modern, and the top twenty-five holds 18 modern cards. Here vintage means the WOTC era, and modern is every later era.
Among the ten leading Samurott cards, 3 are Ultra Rare, 2 are Holo Rare, 2 are Rare, 2 are Secret Rare and 1 is an Illustration rare. Widening to the leading twenty-five, Holo Rare and Rare each account for 4 cards, Ultra Rare for 3, Promo for 2 and Secret Rare for 2, with one Holo Rare V, one Holo Rare VSTAR and one Illustration rare completing the count.
By the value of its single leading card, Samurott ranks 333rd of 1020 species with priced cards, and by the combined value of its ten leaders it ranks 327th of 753. Within the evolution line, Oshawott ranks 291st of 1020 by top card and Dewott 633rd. Samurott's market is built on one 2025 illustration rare, a few Hisuian V and VSTAR cards from 2022 and 2023, and Black & White prints.
